The terminal can operate the application that has the live function, and the terminal can possess parts such as microphone, earphone, speaker, camera, and the terminal has communication function, can insert the internet, and the terminal can be cell-phone, panel computer, intelligent wearing equipment, desktop computer, notebook computer etc.. The server can be a background server of the application program, and the server can be communicated with the terminal. The server may be a single server or a server group, and if the server is a single server, the server may be responsible for all processing in the following scheme, and if the server is a server group, different servers in the server group may be respectively responsible for different processing in the following scheme, and the specific processing allocation condition may be arbitrarily set by a technician according to actual needs, and is not described herein again.

Watching live is now a very common way of entertainment. The anchor and the user can apply for accounts in the network live broadcast platform, and log the accounts in corresponding live broadcast application programs at the terminal. The anchor can gather own live broadcast video through equipment such as the camera of terminal, microphone to upload the live broadcast video to the server. The user can log in own account in the live broadcast application program, and can click a live broadcast room corresponding to a live broadcast in the live broadcast application program, and then the server sends the live broadcast video of the live broadcast to a terminal logged in by the live broadcast account according to the account of the current live broadcast room for watching the live broadcast. The user can then watch the live video of the anchor through the terminal. In addition, the live broadcast platform can also calculate the live time of each account for watching the anchor live broadcast, and the intimacy between the anchor and the user can be increased by calculating the time, so that the interaction between the anchor and the user is increased. The method and the device for determining the watching duration of the user can judge the watching duration preventing the user from modifying the report through the third-party malicious program, and can calculate the watching duration of the user watching the live broadcast of the anchor broadcast more accurately. The method for acquiring the live broadcast watching time length of the user can accurately acquire the live broadcast watching time length of the user each time,

fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for determining a live viewing time length according to an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment can be used for watching a terminal of a main broadcast, and referring to fig. 1, the embodiment includes:

step 101, when detecting a trigger operation of joining a target live broadcast room, sending a joining request corresponding to the target live broadcast room to a server.

And 102, receiving and playing a live video stream of a target live broadcast room sent by a server, and sending a watching notification to the server according to a preset period.

And 103, when detecting the triggering operation of exiting the target live broadcast room, sending an exiting notification corresponding to the target live broadcast room to the server, and exiting the target live broadcast room.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for determining a live viewing time length according to an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment may be used for the server corresponding to the terminal, and referring to fig. 2, the embodiment includes:

step 201, receiving a join request of a corresponding target live broadcast room sent by a terminal, joining a login account of the terminal into the target live broadcast room, and sending a live broadcast video stream of the target live broadcast room to the terminal.

Step 202, receiving a watching notification sent by the terminal according to a preset period in the process of playing the live video stream of the target live broadcast room.

And step 203, when receiving the quit notification sent by the terminal, determining the live broadcast watching time length based on the receiving time of the joining request and the receiving time of the quit notification.

And step 204, when no other watching notification or quit notification is received within the preset time after the watching notification is received, determining the live watching time length based on the receiving time of the joining request and the receiving time of the watching notification received last.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method for determining a live viewing time duration according to an embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the interaction between a terminal for watching a main broadcast and a corresponding server includes:

step 301, when the terminal detects the trigger operation of joining the target live broadcast room, sending a joining request corresponding to the target live broadcast room to the server.

In implementation, a user can operate the terminal to open a live application program and log in an account of the user, and a live room cover of a plurality of live anchor programs can be displayed in the live application program. The trigger operation of joining the target live broadcast room can be that a user selects and clicks one of the anchor live broadcast room covers, or clicks a corresponding live broadcast room entering control in a live broadcast application program. When detecting a trigger operation of a user for joining the target live broadcast room, the terminal may send a joining request corresponding to the target live broadcast room to the server, where the joining request carries an account identifier of the user. In addition, when the terminal sends the join request to the server, a random identifier can be randomly generated and carried in the join request to be sent to the server. And then the server sends the data information of the target live broadcast room to a terminal of the user, and the user can watch the anchor live broadcast in the corresponding live broadcast room.

Step 302, the server adds the login account of the terminal into the target live broadcast room.

In implementation, when the server receives a join request sent by the terminal, the server may join the corresponding account in the anchor live broadcast room according to the account identifier carried in the join request and the account identifier corresponding to the anchor, and may correspondingly record the account identifier, the random identifier and the time when the join request is received according to the account identifier and the random identifier carried in the join request. The account is different in random identification when entering the live broadcast room every time, and the random identification can be used for distinguishing that a user enters the same live broadcast room for multiple times.

And step 303, the server sends the live video stream of the target live broadcast room to the terminal.

After the server adds the login account of the terminal into the target live broadcast room, the live broadcast video stream of the anchor live broadcast room can be sent to the terminal logged in by the corresponding account.

And step 304, the terminal sends a watching notice to the server according to a preset period.

In implementation, the terminal may receive a live video stream of a target live broadcast room sent by the server, and play the live video stream. When the terminal plays the live broadcast video stream of the target live broadcast room, a watching notification can be sent to the server according to a preset period so as to remind the server that the account currently logged in by the terminal is still watching the main broadcast live broadcast in the current live broadcast room.

Optionally, in the process of receiving and playing the live video stream of the target live broadcast room, when a preset period is reached, a first time length for playing the live video stream of the target live broadcast room is determined, a notification sequence identifier corresponding to the current period is determined, and a viewing notification carrying the first time length and the notification sequence identifier is sent to the server.

In implementation, in the process of receiving and playing the live video stream of the target live broadcast room, when a preset period is reached, the terminal watching the anchor live broadcast can calculate a first time length of the live video stream of the target live broadcast room, and the first time length can be determined by a difference value between the time when the terminal sends the join request and the time when the terminal sends the watching notification currently. In addition, a notification sequence identifier corresponding to the current period can be determined, and the sequence identifier can be a number, namely the number of times that the terminal sends the watching notification to the server in the process of playing the live video stream of the target live broadcast room. And then, carrying the determined first time length and the notification sequence identifier in the viewing notification, and sending the viewing notification to the server. Correspondingly, the server may receive a viewing notification sent by the terminal of the user according to a preset period. In addition, the time of receiving the viewing notification sent by the user terminal, the account identifier and the random identifier can be correspondingly recorded.

And 305, when detecting the triggering operation of exiting the target live broadcast room, the terminal sends an exiting notification corresponding to the target live broadcast room to the server, and exits the target live broadcast room.

In implementation, when the user does not watch the live broadcast of the anchor, the user can click a corresponding control for exiting the live broadcast room, or trigger a return control of the terminal to exit the target live broadcast room. When the terminal detects that the user exits the triggering operation of the target live broadcast room, an exit notification corresponding to the target live broadcast room can be sent to the server, the exit notification can carry an account identifier of the current login terminal of the user and a random identifier generated by the terminal and used for the user to watch live broadcast, and the exit notification can be used for notifying the server that the corresponding account exits the target live broadcast room.

Optionally, when detecting a trigger operation of exiting the target live broadcast room, determining a second time length for playing a live broadcast video stream of the target live broadcast room, determining a current notification sequence identifier based on a notification sequence identifier in the viewing notification sent last time, and sending an exit notification carrying the second time length and the current notification sequence identifier to the server.

In implementation, when the terminal detects that the user exits the trigger operation of the target live broadcast room, a total second duration for watching the target live broadcast by the current account may be determined. The second duration may be determined by a difference between a time when the terminal starts to transmit the join request and a time when the terminal transmits the exit notification. In addition, a notification sequence identifier corresponding to the quit notification may also be determined, where the notification sequence identifier corresponding to the quit notification may be obtained by accumulating the notification sequence identifiers carried in the viewing notification that is sent by the terminal to the server last time. For example, before the terminal sends the quit notification to the server, the notification sequence identifier carried in the last watching notification sent is 100, and then the notification sequence identifier carried in the quit notification sent by the terminal to the server may be 101. And then the terminal carries the determined second time length and the notification sequence identifier corresponding to the quit notification in the quit notification and sends the quit notification to the server.

Step 306, the server determines the live broadcast watching time length based on the receiving time of the joining request and the receiving time of the quitting notification.

In implementation, when the server receives a quit notification sent by the user terminal, it can be determined that the user quits from the corresponding live broadcast room according to the account identifier of the user and the account identifier of the anchor broadcast carried in the quit notification of the user, and the time when the quit notification is received is recorded. And then calculating the live broadcast watching duration of the user according to the moment of receiving the quit notification and the moment of receiving the joining time.

Optionally, the duration of the user watching the live broadcast may be determined according to the second duration and the notification sequence identifier carried in the exit notification. The corresponding processing may be as follows: the exit notification carries a second duration and a notification sequence identifier; and determining the live broadcast watching time length based on the second time length, the notification sequence identification and the period in the quit notification and a third time length between the receiving time of the joining request and the receiving time of the quit notification.

In implementation, the quit notification may carry a second time length and a notification sequence identifier, where the second time length is a time for the terminal to calculate and watch the anchor live broadcast, and the notification sequence identifier carried in the quit notification is obtained by accumulating the notification sequence identifiers carried in the last time the terminal sends the watching notification. The rough watching duration of the user watching the live broadcast can be obtained by multiplying the notification sequence identifier carried in the exit notification by the preset sending period. And the third time length is the time length of the user watching the live broadcast of the anchor broadcast, which is calculated by the server through the receiving time of the joining request and the receiving time of the quitting notification.

Optionally, whether the viewing duration uploaded by the terminal is abnormal or not may be verified through the viewing duration obtained by the server, the calculated rough viewing duration and the third duration, and the corresponding processing is as follows: determining a first product of the notification order identification and the period in the exit notification; if the absolute value of the difference between the first product and the second time length is less than the period, and the absolute value of the difference between the second time length and the third time length is less than a preset threshold, determining the second time length as the live broadcast watching time length; and if the absolute value of the difference between the first product and the second time length is greater than the period, or the absolute value of the difference between the second time length and the third time length is greater than a preset threshold, determining the third time length as the live broadcast watching time length.

In implementation, a general third-party malicious program can modify the time of the terminal so as to modify the live broadcast watching time uploaded by the terminal, but cannot directly modify the watching notification sent each time by the terminal or the notification sequence identifier carried in the quit notification, so that a first product can be obtained by multiplying the notification sequence identifier in the quit notification by a preset sending period, and the first product is the rough watching time of the user. If the absolute value of the difference between the rough watching time length of the user and the watching time length uploaded by the terminal, namely the second time length, is less than the preset period, the time length uploaded by the terminal is not abnormal, and the second time length uploaded by the terminal can be used as the time length of the live broadcast watched by the user. And if the absolute value of the difference between the rough watching time length of the user and the watching time length uploaded by the terminal is greater than a preset period, or the absolute value of the difference between the watching time length uploaded by the terminal and the third time length calculated by the server is greater than a preset threshold, determining the third time length calculated by the server as the live watching time length of the user.

And 307, when the server does not receive other watching notifications or quit notifications within the preset time after receiving the watching notifications, determining the live watching time length based on the receiving time of the joining request and the receiving time of the watching notification received last.

In implementation, the terminal of the user may not be able to view the live broadcast due to sudden network disconnection, power failure, termination of the live broadcast application, and the like, and the terminal may not be able to send a corresponding viewing notification or quit notification to the server. Therefore, within the preset time length after receiving the watching notification each time, if no other watching notification or quit notification is received again, the server can think that the user does not watch the anchor live broadcast any more or cannot watch the anchor live broadcast continuously, and the time length for watching the anchor live broadcast by the user can be calculated according to the receiving time of the joining request and the receiving time of the watching notification received at last.

Optionally, the viewing notification carries a first duration and a notification sequence identifier, and the live viewing duration may be determined based on the first duration, the notification sequence identifier and the period in the viewing notification, and a fourth duration between the receiving time of the join request and the receiving time of the last received viewing notification.

In implementation, the first duration and the notification sequence identifier may be carried in the last viewing notification of the server. The first duration is duration for the terminal to calculate and watch the anchor live broadcast. The server can obtain a rough watching duration by watching the notification sequence identifier in the notification and the preset sending period. The fourth time length is the live broadcast watching time length calculated by the server according to the receiving time of the joining request and the receiving time of the watching notification received at last.

Optionally, when the quit notification sent by the terminal is not received, whether the first duration is abnormal may be verified according to the fourth duration and the rough trial production, and the corresponding processing may be as follows: determining a second product of the notification order identification and the period in the viewing notification; if the absolute value of the difference between the second product and the fourth time length is smaller than the period, and the absolute value of the difference between the first time length and the fourth time length is smaller than a preset threshold, determining the first time length as the live broadcast watching time length; and if the absolute value of the difference between the second product and the fourth time length is greater than the period, or the absolute value of the difference between the first time length and the fourth time length is greater than a preset threshold, determining the fourth time length as the live broadcast watching time length.

In implementation, if the absolute value of the difference between the rough watching duration of the user and the watching duration uploaded by the terminal, that is, the first duration, is less than the preset period, the duration uploaded by the terminal is not an abnormal duration, and the first duration uploaded by the terminal can be used as the duration for the user to watch live broadcast. And if the absolute value of the difference between the rough watching time length of the user and the watching time length uploaded by the terminal is greater than a preset period, or the absolute value of the difference between the watching time length uploaded by the terminal and the fourth time length calculated by the server is greater than a preset threshold, determining the fourth time length calculated by the server as the live watching time length of the user.

According to the method and the device, the watching notice is sent to the server according to the preset period all the time in the process of playing the live video of the anchor broadcast through the terminal, the quitting notice is sent to the server when the live broadcast room of the anchor broadcast quits, the server can record the time of receiving the watching notice and the quitting notice each time, then the time of watching the live broadcast by the user is determined through the receiving time of receiving the watching notice or the quitting notice, the time provided by the terminal is not needed, therefore, the time of maliciously modifying the terminal by a third-party program can be prevented, and the accuracy of the time of watching the live broadcast by the user is improved through recording of the server.
